Re: Angry 4 yr old shoots babysitter with shotgun
I don't believe a word of it. From a child development perspective (cognitively speaking) this action would require a formal thought process on the part of the 4 yo. A 4 yo has a concrete thought process that does not involve such cause/effect, decision making and processing that this event says happened. Especially, if the gun had to be loaded with ammo in a separate location. I'd bet the older children where playing with the weapon, accidentally discharged it and then made up a story. [/rant]
